The Singularitarian: May 2009

http://thesingularitarian.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Thoughts on possible futures, singularities,. Transhumanism and the frontiers of belief. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Doomers vs. Singularitarians. There shall be wings! If the accomplishment be not for me, 'tis for some other. The spirit cannot die; and man, who shall know all and shall have wings." - Leonardo Da Vinci. I’ve spent the past several months exploring "doomer" themes at my sister blog The Doomer Report. In a sense Singularitarians and transhumanists are. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Singularitarian: December 2009

http://thesingularitarian.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Thoughts on possible futures, singularities,. Transhumanism and the frontiers of belief. Thursday, December 24, 2009. Summer of the Singularity. Mdash; with exponentially greater computational density than the previous regime. Wednesday, December 2, 2009. Below I’ve sketched a few routes by which a Singularity might occur in this century. These are mostly negative, dystopian scenarios, since my mind seems better able to imagine catastrophic changes than a smooth upward transition to immortality...The glo...

The Singularitarian: The Last Human Century

http://thesingularitarian.blogspot.com/2009/11/last-human-century.html

Thoughts on possible futures, singularities,. Transhumanism and the frontiers of belief. Monday, November 30, 2009. The Last Human Century. Is this the view from the post-human world of the next century? How exciting to be living in the last decades of the human! So I claim that we need to pursue the transhumanist agenda with the greatest urgency, without compromise or equivocation. I hope it is obvious by now that our legacy systems of belief, such as the Abrahamic religions, offer no solutions.

The Singularitarian: Singularity Scenarios

http://thesingularitarian.blogspot.com/2009/12/singularity-scenarios.html

Thoughts on possible futures, singularities,. Transhumanism and the frontiers of belief. Wednesday, December 2, 2009. Scenario #1: The Bottleneck / War Against Humanity. Will a coming bottleneck enable the next evolutionary leap? Scenario #2: Skynet / World War III. Even if you reject the "Skynet spontaneously becomes self-aware" scenario, the technological acceleration that a World War would produce might lead to a singularity in the von Neumann sense ( "the ever accelerating progress of technology and ...

Thoughts on possible futures, singularities,. Transhumanism and the frontiers of belief. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Scenario #6: the Psingularity. After describing five possible Singularity scenarios. Doesn’t a global network of human brains, each working to enhance its own capacities and share its discoveries with the collective, have the potential to become a self-improving super-organism of almost unlimited power?

Thoughts on possible futures, singularities,. Transhumanism and the frontiers of belief. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Morning of the Magicians: Magical Thinking for a New Age. I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose." - J. B. S. Haldane. Rationalists of a certain. Doomers call this magical thinking. Crowley said it well. All magical o...
